Its 1.5" at the shock but because the LCA acts like a lever 1.5" at the shock is close to 3" at the wheel.

Here is a picture of mine with the preload of 1300lb springs that put me in the middle on a lighter truck

Cut em up

Thinking about it.

In other news:

I have nothing to report except its at all different heights now and the rear still has me pondered as to why adding bags lifted it up 1" and there is no air in them. Think my 5305 springs have sagged big time b/c looking at the bags, they appear to be bigger then the springs with weight of tahoe on them. lol.

Either way still drives good now that i lifted it up a little. Will be inspecting all and leveling it all out memorial weekend.

Hey Mike. I tried sending you a PM, but I don't have enough posts yet. What part of Texas are you? I live in Arlington and would be interested in checking out your coil over conversion set up.

Nothing worth mentioning yet.

Last weekend did not get a chance to adjust the front and mess with it period. Going to try tomorrow if weather holds off.

Otherwise not really much to say that hasnt been stated already.

Just getting tired of the tahoe in general and its killing the mood of wanting to fix it, honestly.


But will be updating, just keep an eye out. Hopefully tomorrow or this coming week will have some more to say.

I think you need to twin Turbo it... Can't get bored with that lol. JK

Honestly I think its these damn 3.23 gears. I swear a prius takes off faster.

but a single turbo, or supercharger would be nice.
